Michael Fassbender

Nothing brings good and evil characters together like a really, really evil ubervillain. Enter Apocalypse, stage left in the latest installment f the X-Men franchise, "X-Men: Apocalypse."

The first trailer for the May 27, 2016 release from 20th Century Fox came out today and gets us our first look at the character played by Oscar Isaac. All the new old favorites are there as well, meaning the younger actors playing Professor X (James MacAvoy), Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence).

Essentially, Apocalypse is like the head vampire, the first mutant that perhaps all mutants come from.
